We’ll start the day in the truly Greek way by making ‘frappe’, (iced coffee) or Greek coffee, with every one making their own, to get into the spirit of the morning. Once we’ve all got to know each other, we will begin by making a Greek style pita bread, everyone can have a go at this- a truly hands on experience. This will be closely followed by 2 starters, all of which are standard Greek dishes that people often struggle to recreate at home. We tell you all the ingredients you need, where to get them and show you how it’s done. In the same way we will be making 2 main dishes, one will be vegetarian and one a typically Greek dish with Zakynthian flavours. We'll end the cookery with a masterclass in the ultimate Greek street food, the ‘Gyros Pita’, where you get to make your own pita. Then finally we finish the day with a wine tasting hosted by a local expert, and present you all with a copy of the recipies we have made, hoping that you'll leave feeling inspired to try them all out at home. «Thank you for wanting to share your day with us, we are sure you will enjoy yourselves and feel confident to try all these recipes at home.»

Have a great pottery experience! Get the chance to express yourself with clay in this 2-hour ceramic class - course. Come with your friends or with your kids and play with clay while learning the basic skills of ceramic art. Make your own ceramics under the directions of Dionysia Avouri, the owner of the Adamieion Ceramic Art Studio. Create turtles, bowls, vases etc. We glaze and fire your creations and you take them or we send them to your home. The studio is located in a pleasant environment among olive trees and vineyards. Enjoy fresh homemade lemonade while you and your kids are playing with clay, away from the noisy tourist resorts. First you visit the exhibition-shop to get an idea of Dionysia' s work. Then you work with Dionysia for 2 hours to get familiar with clay and create your own unique ceramic memories from Zakynthos island. During the lesson you create 2 pieces. The shape and the style depends on your imagination and creativity! Your ceramics will remain to dry under the sun and then I will glaze and fire them. They will be ready out from the kiln after 3 days. After the lesson you may have a walk in our farm and admire some of the oldest olive trees on the island, aged more than 1.000 years old! Other things to note Please have in mind that ceramics need to dry under the sun and then I will glaze and fire them, so they will be ready after 3 days. So it is better to have the lesson in the first days of your holidays.

We’ll meet up in the morning in Zakynthos town and here you’ll meet your guide. We’ll still be fresh and eager, so we’ll start with the only ascent of the day. From town a lovely narrow street meanders up to a spectacular viewpoint over Zakynthos town. We adjust our speed to the island pace, siga, siga (slow, slow) we simply take it easy. Of course, we’ll stop often, while the experienced guide tells us much about Zakynthian life, its interesting history and its amazing flora and fauna. One of the points of interest is the hidden park of Lofos Strani, where the local hero and poet Dionysios Solomos has composed the Greek national anthem. Just about halfway our route, we’ll have a break and enjoy a cold drink with some local sweets (pastelli and mandelato). We continue over a path below the Venetian castle, before zigzagging through narrow streets into the heart of the capitol. So, tie up your laces, join us for an adventure, off the beaten track, and discover the secrets of Zakynthos.
